Last winter jap lShipton, who runs
the stage between Platteville and Lam
easter, always considerable of the welfare
and comforts of humanity in general,
but particularly those-who intrust them
selves to his care, so arranged his stage
as to be able to put in small oil stove
to keep the feet of his passengers warm.
He found this quite successful, but its
